Add X-Accel-Buffering: no Header for SSE Responses
Quick Search Confirmation
I searched existing issues in this repository and did not find a duplicate request for adding X-Accel-Buffering headers to SSE responses.
Expected Behavior
When using the spring-ai-starter-mcp-server-webmvc module to handle Server-Sent Events (SSE), the framework should automatically inject the header X-Accel-Buffering: no into all SSE responses. This ensures proxy servers (e.g., Nginx) disable response buffering, allowing real-time streaming of AI-generated content (e.g., chat completions, streaming predictions) without latency.
Example of Expected Headers:
For an SSE endpoint like /stream, the response should include:
Content-Type: text/event-stream
X-Accel-Buffering: no
Current Behavior
- Missing Header: SSE responses from
spring-ai-starter-mcp-server-webmvcdo not includeX-Accel-Buffering: no. - Consequence: Proxy servers (e.g., Nginx) buffer SSE responses by default, causing:
- Delayed delivery of real-time data (e.g., chat messages appear in batches instead of streaming).
- Inconsistent behavior in AI applications where low latency is critical.
